Xylene has been removed from most commercial products for some very good health and safety reasons. First and foremost is that it is absorbed not only by the respiratory system but also cuticles, eyeballs and skin taking with whatever has been mixed with it.  There is no wearable safety equipment that offers full protection, the toxic effects are cumulative and irrereversable and especially damaging to the liver and kidneys.  No matter how well you think it works it's not worth the risk to yourself and those around you.  AND there are safer alternatives.  One is a UV shield made by the golden co.  Another co. Breathing Color, offers a roll on product - do some research and act responibly
